DearComrade,

Iam very grateful to you for the information and for your kind offer
of assistance. If it is not too much trouble, rent me a simple,
inexpensive, small room from the26th.

Ishall be in Copenhagen by the morning of the 26th (for the Bureau
meeting). I shall try to drop in and see you the same morning (I don’t know
when the train comes in, I shall probably go through Hamburg-Korsör). If
you go out, leave a letter for me with the landlady (für Herrn
Ulianoff). I shall take the room by the week or for a month, depending on
what is more customary in Copenhagen.

Ishall be in Copenhagen about ten days from August 26, thenperhapsI shall go away for a week on personal
business[1]and then return to Copenhagen again. Thereforea cheap room for a month (if you, renting for a longer period, pay 12 kr,,
I would probably have to pay about 15–18 kr. for a similar room) would be
more convenient.If you have no time, do not bother, I shall be
able to find something myself on August 26 or 27, since the Bureau meeting
will only take up the morning.

Withbest regards,Yours,Lenin
